Comments About Me

Thanks, Tim. There were quite a few spam posts when I got in there. How are you doing? Hope you're well. I just moved again! 6 months to get relocated, yikes! :( Original comment »

Well, except the dire economic straights of Greece,( maybe a total of 40% cut from my pension, and daughter out of work) I am ok. I spend half my time at the sea lake cottage, and swimming is still good.

Out of the poetry phase and into the physics phase for the past years. Having fun on the physics blogs.

My Bio

People from defunct AS must remember that I am Greek by birth, living in Greece more or less continuously ( 1958-1961 US, about 7 years between 1971 and 1993
spent in Geneva Switzerland). I have been writing poems in both languages from my teenage years, off and on but have not been published in either ( except
recently in electronic fora, which do not seem particularly lively, like www.poetrynow.org, which has not responded for a year ) . The persona of Timarete
Theocritos in Ancient Site restarted my poetic motor with a bang, and I am grateful to it. At some point I was writing a poem a day [:)] . It seems I was born
with a gift for languages ( as many Greeks) . I suppose I am bilingual, although these last years greek dominates, poetry comes out in english by choice ( a
much larger audience can be reached through the web by english). A poem must not be expressible in english for me to form it in greek. I have a page in
http://users.otenet.gr/~avayaki , hit on poems for poems :).
